What's next, the countdown music in the tune of Three Lions? I actually wouldn't mind that....

Did she not go for her poo at 1224?

Anyway, perhaps they should add one or two clips to the countdown...


I read that far and thought you were suggesting clips of Jane going for a poo should be added to the countdown. I'm sure they could synchronise it nicely to the drum-beats.

"Dumm-dumm".

Did anyone notice anything strange or different about the countdown music at 6pm there? I tuned in with only six seconds to run and it certainly wasn't the usual ditty.

You're kidding. No way!!! How come these aren't documented online and all available to download?! It must be that I usually work on a Friday night that I've never heard of this, how long have they done this for?

Interesting having a fashion commentator who obviously gets dressed in the dark.

Have I missed something subtle or is the entry from Caerwyn Jones uncannily like (ie identical to) the original 90 second countdown bed, even down to being 1'33" just like the MP3 of the original I have?

Mediaguardian reporting this morning changes to News 24

"It is also thought News 24 will be given a new on-air look within the next few months.

"News 24 will have a rejig to bring it into line [with the rest of BBC news] while the website will also have a little tweak to bring the whole brand together," the source said."

"In the longer term, the News 24 name is expected to be dropped and the channel retitled BBC News as part of a move to create a uniform brand across all the corporation's output on TV, radio and online. "

What do you think?
